I don't live there but just went for a holiday and my favourite place was Bodhi in the Park, they had really good yum cha. Pretty pricy for what you get so I managed to spend way more than I intended but at dinner and it was easier to spend less. I also went to Mother Chu's several times and liked that a lot. Iku wholefoods was pretty good too and it was handy that they have several different locations. Also, Lard of the Fries for fast food, mmmm.

I really like Yulli's on Crown Street. They didn't have any vegan desserts on the menu last time I was there, but there were plenty of vegan options on the entree and main menus, and everything we tried was excellent so I didn't mind about the lack of dessert.
